Calgary, Alberta — August 01, 2025. Nucleon Energy Inc. (“Nucleon”), a Calgary-based small modular reactor development and operations company focused on Canada and the U.S.
Nucleon Energy is now a registered market participant in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the independent system operator that manages the state’s electric grid. This important milestone strengthens Nucleon’s ability to advance our Small Modular Reactor (SMR) siting work by engaging directly in one of North America’s most dynamic power markets.
Texas is an exceptional environment for SMR development: its competitive market structure, large and growing demand from industry and data centers, and clear need for reliable, low-carbon baseload power create ideal conditions for innovation. By entering the ERCOT market, Nucleon is positioned to bring forward projects that combine cutting-edge nuclear technology with market-driven solutions to support reliability, decarbonization, and economic growth.
This step reflects Nucleon’s broader strategy to establish itself as a private developer, licensee, and future operator of SMRs across North America. As an ERCOT participant, we will be able to directly contribute to the Texas power market while advancing the siting, licensing, and operational frameworks required to deploy the next generation of clean energy.
